All was in order, from the heavy damask napkins and the Chelsea plates to the silver candlesticks and the old cut-glass.

She turned her graceful head, and called to her husband, whose step she heard in the adjoining room.

He came, and, standing beside her, surveyed the mahogany field.

"Is there anything lacking ?" she asked.
He turned and kissed her.
